Trying to address a rattle (I'm crazy) in the back side of the 3rd row seat (red circle). I see I could pull the fabric up easily in the lower right corner (light blue circle) but seems like it would be near impossible to put it back together tightly and neatly like it is now.

After a couple of weeks of driving by my local dealer and seeing this Tremor on the front of the lot, we decided we needed it. I've been considering moving from a truck bsck down to an SUV with towing capabilities for my utility trailer for a while and now seemed as good of a time as any

2013 ford explorer with new 20” rims on 265 50 20 rt tires

My 2016 Limited running errands earlier today 🫠 not bad for a 10 year old car that just hit 113k miles

I purchased this 2016 Ford Explorer XLT as my first ever vehicle back in December of 2023. I’ve been through car accidents, good times, bad times, fell in love, fell out of love, I learnt to drive, and everything else in this vehicle. I put just over thirty thousand miles on it. I always loved it, but in the back of my mind I always wanted a truck - and that was my goal since purchasing. So, yesterday, I officially sold my Explorer and purchased a new vehicle. It’s bitter sweet. 😢

I found this in the driver's footwell area today near where the seat is so maybe it fell from under the drivers seat? No idea what this is..

i had just realized today when i was going to the pool and i was like huh let’s see if my pool raft could fit and it does. thinking about it more… it looks like it could be used as a bed? and idk why i haven’t thought this sooner. sooo instead of spending what idk $200 for a car mattress, a pool float would work just fine. i’m gonna see if i can find the same one i have but i got it from walmart for like $35. i am so happy to had find this out :))))

About 3 months ago my 16 limited had a weird vibration in the steering wheel and I had all the front suspension components/steering rack looked over and they all looked good. I did notice a shock absorber looking part near the front crossmember area. I decided to try and look up a replacement part and I removed the old part and slide in the new dampener. It did fix the vibration issue. The old one had excessive play at the jounts and was leaking a bit of fluid.

The stock rims on my 16 limited were pretty corroded and 2 of them were bent. Back in January I did have a tire shop install some new Ford oem rims along with new center caps and had the tires roadforce balanced. Id say Im happy with the look of them!

I just got a used ‘21 Ford explorer XLT for my wife from carvana, it has 52,000 miles, 1 owner and 0 accidents. It feels like it is breaking well but it’s making an unusual sound. Was wondering if anyone has heard this and knows what this is or use my 7 day return with carvana. I bought an f150 a month ago from them and it’s been amazing with 0 issues so I am just double checking. Thanks in advance!

What y'all think?
